🏰The 2019 Albert Mann Furstentum Riesling Alsace Grand Cru is a 【powerful, mineral-driven Alsatian Riesling from one of Alsace's most renowned Grand Crus】, known for its complexity, salinity, and impressive depth. This biodynamically grown wine from 30-year-old vines on limestone and scree soils showcases distinctive minerality and structure. Critics praise its rich, ample, and structured dry profile, with a bold, chalky finish. It presents a medium straw yellow color with vibrant luminosity. The nose, initially reserved, reveals orange blossom, linden blossom, pineapple, and lemon, embedded in stony, earthy notes with elegant restraint. The palate is lively and saline with fine tannins, a silky texture, and ripe pineapple and lemon fruit, complemented by slightly bitter notes of orange peel and grapefruit, leading to a long, juicy, and fleshy finish. It's powerful and piquant, yet with silky maturity. 🍴An ideal companion for cod loin with spring vegetables and Thai broth, grilled lobster with Indian spices, scallop carpaccio with kumquats, meaty and oily fish, pork, vegetarian dishes, and spicy food. 🥂Perfect for a refined dinner, a special tasting focused on the diversity of white Burgundies (Alsace Riesling in this case), or as an aperitif for enthusiasts. It's drinkable now but has potential to gain further depth over 10-15 years.
